Pyrite Hexagonal Buddha Pendulum - 10-11 inch

The Pyrite Hexagonal Buddha Pendulum pairs a six-sided Pyrite point with a small Buddha charm set into the chain above it, alongside faceted glass beads in amber and gold tones. The Pyrite shows the brass-yellow colour and hard metallic lustre that give the mineral its reputation, and the flat hexagonal faces reflect light in distinct planes rather than as a continuous sheen. The charm sits partway up the chain where it is visible in the hand during use. The overall effect is warmer and more ornamented than a plain stone pendulum.

Pyrite is traditionally associated with abundance and with drive, and is commonly kept in workspaces and in places connected with earning. Its name comes from the Greek pyr, fire, earned because the mineral throws sparks when struck against steel or stone, and it served as a fire-starting material across cultures from prehistory onward. Polished Pyrite was also worked into mirrors by Aztec and Inca craftsmen, examples of which have been recovered archaeologically. A pendulum in this material is often chosen for questions about work and direction.

Geological Information
Pyrite is an iron sulphide, FeS2, with a cubic crystal system and a Mohs hardness of 6-6.5. It forms perfect cubic, pyritohedral, and octahedral crystals, and that geometric habit is the most definitive way to separate it from gold, a confusion long-standing enough to have earned it the name Fool's Gold. The brass-yellow colour and metallic lustre are intrinsic to the mineral. Pyrite produces sparks when struck against metal or stone, which is the origin of its name and the basis of its prehistoric use as a fire-starting material worldwide. Mesoamerican cultures polished it into mirrors, and Aztec and Inca examples survive in archaeological collections. Commercial material comes from Spain, Peru, Italy, Bolivia, and the USA; the supplier states India as the country of origin for the finished piece, which reflects assembly rather than the source of the stone.

AuturaSol Standard
Each piece is selected for its quality, craftsmanship, and intended use. Every product is selected to reflect its true character; however, lighting conditions, screen settings, and natural variation may cause slight differences in appearance. If you have any questions about a piece before completing your purchase, we're always here to help. Where authenticity meets beauty, we tell you exactly what you're holding.

Care Note
Keep Pyrite dry. In persistently humid conditions the mineral can tarnish and release sulphuric compounds that degrade the surface, so avoid water contact entirely and store the pendulum somewhere dry rather than in a bathroom or an unheated room. The faceted glass beads on the chain will chip if the piece is dropped onto a hard surface.
